One of us, one of us

Furthering my absorbtion into the collective, I now am operating on an iPhone. The service hasn't completely ported over; texts are making it, but incoming calls are still headed over to the old phone. I'm a bit sad at losing Metro tunnel service, but I'm looking forward to the slightly lower bill. Amazingly I get full bars in my apartment, something that never happened with the former carrier. And the keyboard, while occasionally odd, is working okay.

Verizon absorbed the company that placed the original repeater system, and has kept restricted access - occasionally, analog signals from other carriers will work - but it is rare.

It's not like verizon phones work that great down there anyway.

And is there anything worse than someone sitting behind you
yelling into their phone?

There is reasonably good tunnel access in SF, and I believe it is across providers.

"And is there anything worse than someone sitting behind you

Agreed. However, that access is handy for text messaging.

Amen. I used it a lot for text messaging, and the occasional email check, when I had Verizon.
